People in Action

🌍 Who We Support

We support individuals and small, grassroots actions that are helping humans, animals, and the Earth — especially efforts that may not have access to large funding or visibility.

This includes simple, powerful actions like:

• Cleaning beaches, rivers, or public spaces

• Feeding children or people in need

• Supporting unhoused communities

• Restoring nature or protecting wildlife

• Mutual aid and community care projects

We believe small actions matter, and people who care deserve to be seen and supported.

When we feature a project or individual, we may offer:

• ✨ Visibility through our website and Instagram

• 📣 Sharing their story and mission

• 🔗 Linking directly to their page, Instagram, or fundraiser

• 🌱 Helping connect them with others who want to support or join
